Have your wife take fish oil caps and make sure she breastfeeds and avoids soy. Go to mercola.com He has a shitload of good info. on this subject.
Yes, I was just about to add what Kelly Bagget said but he beat me to the punch. Apparently Omega 3s are extremely important in cognitive development of the child, with many derived directly from the mother’s breast milk. Not to mention all those yummy IGF-1’s and nutritional elements unique only to breast milk. I would do some reading on “left” and “right” brain development and constanly expose the child to a various number of stimuli. Remember to balance the physical with the mental and emotional development. And remember not to place too mcuh pressure on the poor child lest you end up with an UNBALANCED child-prodigy-misfit.
Like Norbert Wiener.
I was breast fed until the age of 24…
The initial “baby talk” is an important part of a babies speech learning curve. This was recently on some documentry I cant remember the title of. Start with the basics, sounds -words - sentences - reading letters & phonics - writing. (Learning of phonics is apparently important to the correct grasp of spelling and reading.)
To put it in perspective you wouldnt start an athlete with 0 lifting experience on Snatches or Swiss Ball Squats would you.
When I refer to ‘baby talk’ it is the ‘language’ that many parents use to communicate with their young children. You know the type of thing where when the child repeats it they laugh and say “isn’t that cuuuute!” What isn’t cute is a two or three year old asking for ‘waa waa’ or unable to form rudimentary sentences because all they have ever heard is ‘baby want some yummies for your tummy?’
Language is learned as a child tries to repeat what they hear, so if they hear babbling they learn to repeat babbling. If they hear words, it sounds like babble when they start and turns into words as they get better with their speach. Waa-waa and num-nums never 'transform' into real words because they don't start that way.
I just remember Steve Martin saying (all those years ago), to “talk wrong” to your kids. Still laugh at that…
Classical music, reading, physical play, 50mg/primobolan per each 5 days, soft martial arts (I highly reccomend Judo for kids under 5, teaches self-respect, courage, but is less likely to make them a prick/bitch), LSD in-utero, and plenty of Van Damme movies.
Allowing the child to age will lead to development.
